Zooier Than Thou is a zooey podcast in a Variety Show format. After an introduction, letters from listeners are read out. Around the main topic, the show contains skits like "Ask Zooey" (cross-species romantic advice), "Secret Zoo" (an exposé about an historical figure or pop-culture icon whose zooeyness is apparent), music, poetry, stories, 'sponsors', news, or community information. Bonus episodes are sometimes released with additional content.
The Start of Zooier Than Thou
Zooier Than Thou started with Toggle and Fausty in March of 2019 to show zoos and non-zoos a vision of what is possible with interspecies connection. There have been Over 40 episodes created as of mid-2021, helping those with questions about zoophilia and zoo history.
Transcripts
The podcast used otter.ai to generate transcripts in the first season, but they relied on people to help produce good transcripts. The transcripts were shared through a Github repository:
https://github.com/zooier/podcaststuff/tree/master/assets/transcripts
The github repo was maintained by Fausty and can't be updated any more.

Meet the Hosts
At the time, Zooier Than Thou featured Toggle and Fausty.
Toggle
Toggle is one of the original co-founders of ZooTT, bringing his background in communications and media to the table. Though it may sound like his balls haven't dropped yet, he is known for speaking his mind and using his voice to discuss difficult topics with nuance and a healthy dose of profanity. Toggle likes to spend his free time playing Mario Kart, making terrible puns, and writing zooey rap songs.
Fausty
Fausty was no stranger to the zoo community, a name that's both famous and infamous, depending on whom you ask. Known for his outspoken zoo activism, his work in computer security and privacy, and for literally jumping off of cliffs (BASE 715), Fausty enjoyed reading everything he could get his paws on, studying law, and being an incredible dork. In 2019, he co-founded ZooTT, contributing his wealth of animal knowledge and zooey wisdom and providing a guiding vision that endures to this day.
Lovecat
Lovecat is friendly, feisty feline of the vegan persuasion who loves nonhuman people, making art in a myriad of mediums, and you, you sexy beast you! Authenticity, Gratitude, and Generosity are their guiding principles, and realizing a sane, caring world for nonhumans and humans of all kinds is their ultimate goal.
Zooey
Zooey is the host of the cross-species relationship advice column Ask Zooey, bewitchingly beautiful, and brilliant to boot. She has a background in talk show work and podcasting, and is quite the full wellspring on relationships outside of the human genome. Zooey's favorite pastimes are reading, practicing voice work, and wandering the woods whenever she can.
Canis Gnosis
Species: Canis Gnosis. Diet: Vegan; Trash; Vegan-Trash. Habitat: Forests; plains; anywhere with adequate furry porn. Found worldwide any place where humans and non-humans share habitat. Like the majestic hermit crab, C. Gnosis carries around a trash bin as a mobile den, and often has to contend with toxic elements within these spaces before they can be safely inhabited, leaving some to wonder why they don't just become a Brony and save their whole species some trouble.
Kynophile
Kynophile is a writer, singer, and dungeon master (no, not that kind) with a flair (not that kind either) for the dramatic. He mainly focuses on writing songs and skits, using experience from his background in community theater. With his fleeting free time, he enjoys running zoos through fantasy adventures, listening to Sondheim soundtracks, and hanging out with his loved ones, human, animal, and in between.
